Are you in the 2 week wait? How are you doing/feeling?

After my either early loss/chemical last cycle I was hoping to try again this cycle (most fertile first 3 months after loss) but sadly I have been super poorly and only managed to baby dance once around peak 🤦🏼‍♀️

So I am not too hopeful this cycle, but at least we did try 😂

Congratulations @handbagsandholidays !!

So that bleeding I had yesterday started around 2:30 pm and lasted until about 9pm really red but not heavy enough to go onto a pad , the cramps have stopped and the bleeding has stopped so I'm not sure if that was my period or ? This has never happened before 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you. @MrsKey2020

Last month, I had a similar thing in that I started with spotting and it was only when I wiped. I then had a couple of heavier bleeding instances where it was enough to fill a tissue but not a pad. Unfortunately I later found out it was a chemical/ early MC but when I was speaking to friends and medics along the way, they assured me that it could also be very normal so don't assume the worst unless it is confirmed. Sending lots of positivity your way ♥️♥️

@handbagsandholidays wow congrats and good luck 🤞🏻

Negative for me! I am not feeling too hopeful, it was a very odd try this cycle so I know we didn't give it our all. Period is due thurs/Fri so we shall see

That's what I'm trying to do too! As pleased as I am, I won't believe it until I'm much further along xx

@beanchopper17 I can defo see a line on that!!

Bfn at 12dpo so think I'm probably out

SGChome20 · 18/01/2022 19:37

@beanchopper17 I definitely see a line! As an aside, how do you make the photo go dark? I've seen people on here talking about inverting photos but I don't know how to do it!

@justanotherlaura sorry it's a negative. I know how you feel re age. It's an added pressure that I wish wasn't there.

EPU got back to me re spotting and have booked me in for an early scan but not till February as they say that's when they'll be able to see something. They wouldn't take bloods or anything. Feel a wee bit bummed about it but keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get anymore spotting/bleeding and just taking it a day at a time.

@SGChome20 I have an app just called 'checker' (on apple phone) however no matter what phone you have you can search picture inverter in apps you should be able to find one. To make it darker I just edit it in my photo album 😊

That's a bummer, but try to think positive, feb isn't that far away, maybe do a clear blue week predictor test next week and failing that just try to keep yourself occupied (I know easier said than done, cause I know I would be hyper focused too)

Keep us updated how you get on 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

13dpo and bfn Sad I tend to get AF around 12/13 dpo. I feel like it's going to start today. 2.5 years since we started trying. 2 years since my miscarriage. I don't know why I even bother trying anymore. My other children were conceived so easily. I think that spoiled me Blush

Congratulations to everyone with a bfp and good luck to everyone still waiting xx

SGChome20 · 19/01/2022 14:13

@Salamander91 so sorry it is disheartening when you've been trying for a long time. Not to mention it completely takes the joy out of sex! I hope AF stays away for you.

Salamander91 · 19/01/2022 14:42

@SGChome20 oh definitely. Poor OH is feeling a little used at this point Blush AF unfortunately started

Well seems like a dodgy wondfo, as AF has arrived!

2 cycles in a row, 2 different brands, of vvvfl's and then af 🤦🏼‍♀️

Good job I didn't get my hopes up 😂

@beanchopper17 no way 😭 that was such a convincing line, sorry af showed up.

I can feel my af coming too, been having weird cramps all eve! X

Oh no. I'm so so sorry to read this. 😔
SGChome20 · 20/01/2022 13:33

@beanchopper17 really sorry. I defo thought that was a line. These tests are messing with emotions. I've read on here FRER's are even a bit dodgy sometimes just now.

beanchopper17 · 20/01/2022 16:23

I went a little researching mad after getting the line and there was overwhelming amount of forums with can you trust wondfo/easy@home tests and their vvfl, majority turned out to be nothing and there were a few that were genuine pregnancies.

So of course you hope your one of the few not the majority!

How are you getting on @SGChome20 any updates?

OP posts:
SGChome20 · 20/01/2022 16:47

Well unfortunately I've had a bit more spotting today at 16dpo so that was spotting on Monday and then today. It is very light but I'm really worried about it as this is how my MC started. I've called EPU just there and begged for progesterone so I'm waiting to hear back. The midwife said she is going to speak to the consultant but it might be tomorrow before they call back 😢 I'm just praying I get no more bleeding before then. Or in fact at all.

I even looked at the private fertility clinic near me but they don't do private prescriptions.

@beanchopper17 thank you, I'm keeping everything crossed but at the same time trying to not think too much about it and stopping myself about thinking about the future.

Hey just checking in to say hope you're ok. I have been thinking about you.

SGChome20 · 23/01/2022 18:22

@handbagsandholidays thank you for the message. I'm doing ok. Haven't had more spotting since the last time so I'm keeping everything crossed. I did another test yesterday and the line had got darker so I'm hoping that's a good sign 🤞

That sounds very positive! A lot of people bleed at the time their period is usually due so hopefully that's what you have experienced and it's nothing more than that. Are you planning to book an early scan? Xx
